Governor Gavin Newsom is initiating a campaign to enhance wildfire prevention as California approaches peak fire season. He urges federal action on wildfire mitigation, particularly addressing the significant land management responsibility held by the federal government. California has invested over $2.5 billion in fire prevention and resilience since 2020, allowing substantial treatment of forestlands. Newsom emphasizes the necessity of federal resources in conjunction with state efforts to effectively combat the wildfire crisis, stressing the urgency given the stakes involved with lives and properties at risk.
As the Golden State approaches peak fire season, leaders on Thursday talked about what the state has done to prevent wildfires.
Newsom called on Trump and the federal government to do more to prevent wildfires, because 'lives and property are on the line.'
